The genome sequence of the sardine, Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792) [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Sardina pilchardus (the sardine; Chordata; Actinopteri; Clupeiformes; Clupeidae). The genome sequence spans 869.40 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.57 kilobases in length.
